ice spots...

Ice spots
On Billow Hill
The blinking light on the street
There
A blue violin plays
Bop
In Jack's Cafe its red roof pitched
So the rain & the nighttime slide off to the curb
A blue violin plays
In Jack's Cafe the stairways are mahogany & polished & bare
& only one picture on a wall up to the barroom floor
That a plain woman long & blue
A blue violin plays
& in the barroom
A mustard stucco mural of great flowers & old movies
Some lilies
Decorate where the people dance
Outside a bus arrives
Painted with great flowers & old movies
Some lilies
Under
The black tin sky
In the glitzy signs flashing
At the crossroads
- -
At the crossroads
In a green window blue
Reflecting ice beer seafood bait propane
Saddle shoes & the merry life
A blue violin plays
Beach rails African pied crows & sailing ships
At the crossroads
